TheRoosevelt neighborhood in Seattle was the second most competitive marketplace in the city, and the fourth most competitive in the nation. The neighborhood north of the University District and east of Green Lake is known for its quiet residential streets and cozy neighborhood bars such as Pies & Pints and Teddy's Tavern.

As many Seattleites have heard time and again, the Emerald City has one of the hottest housing markets in the nation. According to a new report by Redfin, it also has one of the most competitive markets too.

Four neighborhoods in the Seattle metro area topped Redfin's list of the most competitive places to buy a home in 2015. Inman Square, an area in Cambridge, Boston, was number one on the list.

The list was compiled by analyzing multiple indicators of competition, including the percentage of homes that sold above asking price, how quickly homes went under contract and the percentage of Redfin offers that faced bidding wars.
